I can't find it via search...I think it was an exact replica of the OEM split five-spoke but one inch larger. Anyone remember this?

Fortunately I think these replica rims (If you can call it that) are great quality. I used to own Forged 3 piece Manaray rims myself. Cost was kind of expensive at $880 a rim though.

Ace Manta's are similar to the stock ones also. They're only like $1500 w/ tires, so I dunno about the quality.

This member has them:

Yea I've seen the Ace mantas, but those Mantarays just have that polished clean look like the 19" OEM M3 rims do.

I believe the Ace Mantas do not come in a staggered setup.
